EDC 484 - Student Class Wikispaces

Edit 0 163 …
One of the assignments for EDC 484 is for each student to start their own course wiki. This wiki can contain basic info, it can be place to gather interesting resources to possibly leverage students' online reading time, or it can include opportunities for students to contribute and comment. A wikispace where students can join and contribute provides a venue for differentiating instruction, providing students some choices, and authentic work. A teacher's website can present information, provide supplemental resources, or service as a "learning environment annex" that engages students science-related activities when they are online.

  • Wiki successes and struggles are currently being discussed on the Classroom 2.0 Teacher Community Site.
  • Jillian Boisse, an alumni currently teaching at North Kingstown High School uses her Science Whiz wikispace currently with her classes.
  • Chris Bergmann's Wikispace is another example of how an online presence can enhance a science class.
  • Though a blog instead of a wiki, Ms. Baker's ExtremeBiology site has several examples of assignments that get students excited about science. This link goes directly to the "Classroom Connections" page.

What Should I be able to do on Wikispaces by the end of this class?

Wikispaces provides a secure space for students to find and contribute knowledge. To do this, you should be able to:
  • Access wikispaces on your computer in a way that does not require you to enter a password for every visit.
  • Browse through a wikispace using the sidebar. In our class wikispace, you should be able to find work done by previous sections of your class.
  • Edit an existing wikispace page, including adding text, graphics, and other media such as videos.
  • Leave your signature on a page.
  • Create and link pages by (1) using the "New Page" command on the sidebar or (2) creating an "empty" page link while you are editing a wikispace page.
  • Use the discussion forum for each page to engage in relevant conversations.

Resources For Learning to Use Wikispaces

  • What's a Wiki Video - You've probably already seen this video explaining the idea of a wiki.
  • Introductory Vidcasts - These videos were produced by wikispaces. The first one starts when you reach the page, so plug in your ear phones.
  • The Wikispaces Help Page - This page summarizes how edit wikispaces.
  • The Wikispaces Help function. - Located at the top right of each page, and includes videos of common operations.

  • Quick Wikispaces Tutorial - A fifteen minute tutorial that takes you through creating a wikispace, editing, organizing, and linking a wikispace page, adding graphics and media to a wikispace page, and designating your space as a k12 site to eliminate ads.
